    So today has been one of those days, you know the ones where you go and check your bank accounts and there's nothing to transfer? it's behaving itself.. Sheesh whats a girl to do.


    So instead I have just had a lovely cup o coffee and headed into uni to attempt to do this paper, ahhhh the joy's of studying.


    And no doubt instead of studing my mind will wander, so I am going to try and lead it in the direction of ME... Having read Ed's plan today maybe I need one.

    Are you buying yet El? Trying to sit on my hands today, will likely stick in a few £££ if things continue to tank once US markets open.


    nope too early for me yet lol


    I do like your thought processes though... might keep a wee eye on them

    I think mentally I'm considering 4% falls of DJ/S&P to be buying opportunities.

    Will see what this afternoon brings, US opens at 14:00 or so? In any case less risky for me as ISA was cleared out to buy house, starting from a very low base. The £1,000 I spent on the last dips has already broken even, although will likely be going back down today.

    I seemed to have managed to irritate a lecturer today, certainly not intentionally, and we have had words before, but I do respect this woman and appreciate the hard work she does, will need to try and figure out how I can address this


    Ach well life eh ... interesting and complicated all at once
